St. Paddy's @ Needle Rock

Tonight is our adult St Paddy's celebration and pajama party!

Come knit, too, if you dare.

Suri Alpacas

Becca & Dr. Tony with their Suris - where else, but Main St.!

They're pretty great, eh?

I just love this photo, so I had to share it. These are Suri Alpacas, whose fleece is among the softest, warmest, strongest available. We are fortunate to have both natural & richly dyed yarns made from these guys. Feeling is believing - Suri is always worth it!

March is National Crochet Month!

Our customer, Jennifer, let us know that this is National Crochet Month & we've decided to acknowledge it by asking our followers to crochet up a 6" square, in any yarn, any stitch pattern. This could either be a granny square, crocheted from the center out, or a 6" swatch of double crochet. Here is a website to help with some stitch ideas http://crochet.about.com/lr/crochet_stitches/1376642/4/

Our goal is to crochet all the squares together, either into a long scarf or a full afghan, if we get enough squares. Ginger would like to have a few squares stitched together for a great photo op on our next Knit on the Mountain Day II, March 26 @ Gorrono's Firepit. We will donate the scarf/afghan @ the end of the month.

If you are out of town & still want to participate (& we want you to!), please mail us your square contribution to P O Box 1963, Telluride, CO 81435.

3rd Annual Knit on the Mountain

Fireperson, Cathy Dickinson, braved the cold to knit on her sweater @ Goronno Deck - nice hat too, girlfriend!

The Rockers: Marti, Cathy, Ginger & Ann - yes, it's quite comfy to knit in ski boots - feet stay warm!

Corey Lee trooped up to Knit on the Mountain after her radio show Saturday morning - felted clutch is her current UFO.

& YES, Men Do Knit! Gerrit did a few stitches on his mom's project, keeping his helmet on for safety!

Neck Cowl from Fiesta's Flurry

Ginger whipped this up for a friend in Montana, using our quickie cowl pattern - it just floats on the neck - fuzzy, but not at all itchy - silk, wool & mohair - yum!

Mark's Zip Up or Down Vest

Corey knit up this zipped vest from Tahki Stacy Charles' Donegal Tweed & it turned out perfectly! Even got the 2-way zipper installed without a hitch. You may think you don't know Mark, but if you've seen our business card, you know his work. He took the fantastic photo of our infamous Needle Rock! Thanks again, Mark!

Glendale Community College has knitters!

My brother teaches @ Glendale Community College in So Calif & snapped this with his I-whatever - I think he should attend a meeting, what do you all think?
